COUPLE CAUGHT
In a Suspicious Position by
the Deputies.
BOTH PLACED UNDER BONDS
The Developments Before the Com
missioner To-day Will be
awaited With Curiosity.

OF DeputleS cannon and franks to q
boarding and lodging house near the
Methodist Church, on Third South
Street, and the arrest there in one room
and some say in the same bed-of a
woman who gave her name Lizzie
Purman, and Bud Robinson. Robinson
will be remembered as the young fell
low who was refused entrance to a ball
at Bingham some time ago, and who, in
endeavoring to force an entrance
Z PULLED A PISTOL
and shot young man in the leg. He
was indicted for assault with intent to
Kill, and the case is now pending in the
District Court
The woman in the case carries several
names. and has gained a reputation in
different parts of this Territory and
elsewhere that does not at all rebound
to her credit. She is known as Purham.
but yesterday cashed money order
which bore the name of Wier. 1t is
said she has been married several
times. She is rather prepossessing in
appearance, and we'll, though not

learned yesterday, it appears that
Robinson had been roomlne at this
house mentioned above, and had asked
the landlady if she had spare room
she could let him have. She replied
that she had not; that her house was
full, and the incident passed from her
mind. Late Saturday evening, a man
called at the house, and asked if a
lady, whose appearance tailed exactly
WITH THE WOMAN
who appeared in court yesterday, was
stopping there. He was answered in
the negative, and an inquiry as to what
he wanted, brought out the answer
that there were some trunks of hers at
the depot that must be moved at once.
The landlady thought it very singular
that q man should call on such an
errand at that time of night, and was
still more myst1tied when the same in
diVidual appeared at the house again
Yesterday morning, with the same
lnquiry. He was informed that
no one by the name mentioned
was in the house He then
asked after q man answering the de-
Scrlptlon of Robinson, and received the
answer that
He WAS BOOMING THERE
With that he left, and short time
afterwards Franks and Cannon entered
the house without any particular
ceremony, and proceeded up stairs, to
room, where the arrest was
made, as above described. After being
allowed to don their street costumes,
the pair were brought to the Marshai's |
office, and subsequently taken before
Commissioner Norrell.
Robinson sent for Mr.. Critchlow to
defend him, and in behalf of his client
that gentleman asked that bail be fixed |
at as small q sum as possible, IN view of |
the fact that defendant was already |
under bonds to answer to another |
char&e, and there was not much l:keli- |
hood of his leaving.
The Commissioner replied that he |
could not take notice of the fact that |
defendant was already under bonds, |
only in so far as such a case might !
have a tendency to make it a matter |
Of some difficulty for defendant
TO OBTAIN MORE BONDS.
He thought 1,500 was small enough
but taking the fact into consideration
that a bond to secure defendants ap-
pearance was already in existence, he
would make the amount 81 0U0.
Mrs. Purmap had no counsel, and in |
to a question by the Commits |
missioner, as to whether she wanted to |
secure legal advice before the examina-
ton was proceeded with, she replied |
L think it would be advisable Bail |
was fixed at the same amount, and the |
examination set for pm.
Shortly after that hour Mr.. Peters |
was present to represent th govern |
ment, but Just as the case was about to |
be com menced, it WAS discovered that |
two Witnesses, and very Important ones |
- NJ. KlOpenstein and w. =. Ten |
Broeck-were not in court. At the re- |
quest of Mr.. Peters, al attachment was |
issued for the abSentees. After aiting |
an hour or more. the wanted witnesses |
tailed to materialize. and the case was |
adjourned until o-morrow.
Ii was generally remarked last even
ing that there was
SOMETHING VERY MYSTERIOUS
in the disappearance of Ten Brock.
He it was who swore out
the complaint on which the
arrests were made, and who appeared
very anxious that the deputies should
do their duty in the premises, even
going so far in the matter as to accom-
pany the officers to the room occupied
by the defendants. Moreover, there is
no doubt but that Ten Brock was the
individual who made the two calls at
the house mentioned above, and also
the same man who detailed a similar
story TO the police on Sunday evening.
